    anxiety is really just another word for “fear “., most people have anxiety because therir worried something bad is going to happen in the future. here is an example: say i’m starting a new job in a week, and so i’m stressed about it, start worring if i’ll do a good job, if my boss will like me and my work, will my co-workers like me,what if i hate the job..and on and on ..until i work myself up into a frenzy…
    you need to start taking things one moment at a time and don’t think of all the bad things that can happen because more than likely they won’t and also you can’t control it anyway.

    Overcoming anxiety is no small task.
    It takes practice and a lot of hard work.

    I used to have panic attacks once a week
    due to my high anxiety, so I definitely feel
    for you. Fortunately, I can do a lot more
    for you than empathize.

    By utilizing the techiques below, I was slowly
    able to gain control over my anxiety and stop
    my panic attacks from occuring. If you
    exercise these techiques regularly, you too
    will see great improvements in anxiety,
    tension and stress.

    Breathing:

    As the anxiety creeps up, begin to count in
    your head. Count 1,2,3,4 — 1,2,3,4 — 1,2,3,4
    pausing on the dashes and so on.

    You’re not going to actually say or
    even think the numbers. You’re going
    to breath the numbers.

    Take a deep breath in through your
    nose for the 1 and 2. Then take a
    deep breath out through your mouth
    for the 3 and 4. Practice this routine
    for a few minutes a day until it
    becomes an automated exercise for you.

    Practicing really helps a lot.
    Practice in a controlled environment.
    I used to practice before bed. When
    panic does hit, this self-defense
    mechanism kicks in without effort.

    Control Your Thinking:

    When you have negative thoughts,
    negative things will come into your
    life. Conversely when you have positive
    thoughts, positive things will come
    into your life.

    That’s because thoughts steer the
    direction of your life.

    The same holds true in moments of high
    anxiety. It’s important during these
    times to monitor your thoughts and
    make sure you force calming ideas
    and images into your head.

    Nothing is really as bad as it seems and ten
    years from now,this particularly stressful
    situation won’t exist – so control your
    thinking to avoid your mind from falling
    into a negative thought spiral.

    As soon as you have a negative thought,
    throw it out of your head and
    counterbalance yourself with a
    positive or optimistic thought.

    This is a hard one, but after
    you monitor your thoughts for
    a week or two, you begin to think
    more positive in general.

    These two tactics helped me a lot.
